What we know
Confirmed
- Gor Mahia opened a six-point gap at the top of the SportPesa Premier League standings after edging archrivals AFC Leopards 1-0 in the 99th Mashemeji Derby at a packed Nyayo Stadium on Sunday.
- Gor emerged on top thanks to a second-half strike from captain Alpha Onyango, which sent them six points clear and secured derby bragging rights.
- Leopards appealed for a penalty in the 77th minute when substitute Victor Omune’s effort struck Frank Odhiambo’s hand, but the referee waved play on.
- The match started cautiously, with Leopards slowing the tempo as they circulated the ball across their back three of captain Kayci Odhiambo, Brian Odhiambo and Samwel Mbanja.
- Gor, meanwhile, looked to inject pace through quick transitions led by Paul Ochuoga, Sharif Musa and Ebenezer Adukwaw.
